Further tests shows that “Direct Routing” in “Direct Monitoring” mode only allows the 1st “Direct Routing” slot for mapping or assigning routes to an available output bus. Also, I was able to send multiple “Group Tracks” to a single Directly Routed output bus. So, we will now try to reverse the process in the above previous tests and FREE UP the CUES (1-4) by utilizing “Direct Routing” to bring in the audio(s) from MR816(2) and MR816(3) into MR816(1) and see if we would be able to monitor.
By doing the above we would FREE UP CUES 1-4 from the original work-around and utilize them as intended CUE(s) that offer “Talk-Back” and the “Click” (still physically patched into our P16-I with IC-Pro to control the CUE(s) remotely). If we require more cues, we would simply re-implement the use of “Direct Routing” to an assigned Output Bus physically patched into our P16-I for More-Me monitoring.
